Seeing Oxford in a completely new light! - I took my two sons- aged 10 and 13- on this tour, and we didn't really know what to expect, but it surpassed our expectations. We've lived in Oxfordshire for years, but discovered new parts of Oxford that we'd never known about before. Our tour guide- Joel- was fantastic: entertaining, interesting, and really easy to talk to. Luckily, we were the only ones on this particular tour time, so we had him to ourselves, and got to ask lots of questions. He tailored the tour to their history interests too. My sons haven't stopped talking about it since!
